Hi Pecker Puppy Lovers!  In the past several months, my life has been chaotic, with no time to breathe. I missed writing for you all, and I missed this weekly article so much. It is close to my heart. I decided to do my best and at least get something up, even if it is a simple video, so dog lovers have a spot to show off their lovely pups. I can't always promise in-depth articles, but I can promise to do my best. Also, losing Octavian devastated me to my core, and I am recovering from the grief and some mild depression as a result. I ached and hurt so much. It was like losing a human child for me, as acute as if I had given birth to him myself. The pack mourned losing their leader and was slow to elect a new one. We may get more pups. Our house is nothing without 5 pups with us.  So share your memes, photos, vids and all the pup stuff you can.

Imagine a parade of dogs with faces that some might consider unattractive confidently walking down a runway. This isn't a fashion mistake; it's the World's "Ugliest" Dog Contest, a truly heartwarming event that has delighted audiences for almost fifty years!  The Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California, each year, showcases the most delightfully unconventional dogs you can imagine. It's akin to a beauty pageant with more slobber and fewer bolt-on boobs. These dogs flaunt their unique looks, which some may find so "ugly" that they become endearing. They might not be beautiful, but their hearts and will are something that transcends their shortcomings. In 2024, the coveted title went to Wild Thang, an 8-year-old Pekingese with a remarkable spirit and a tongue that never seems to stay inside his mouth. This resilient pup overcame canine distemper as a young dog, resulting in distinctive features that would give even Pablo Picasso artist's block. ...
